Wow-how much dope does he smoke. I would have thought he was a Top NBA prospect. If you added Motley to SMU's team last year SMU could have been a Final 4 Team

Interesting note...ESPN has Ben Moore (SMU) as #41 under Best Available and Keith Frazier(SMU :shock: ) as #46. Hope the best for both players.

Better than no guaranteed. Probably got 20-30K guaranteed. Be interested to see the contract.

Be interesting to see how Semi and Sterling's contracts look when they are finalized. I'm sure they will get some guaranteed too, since 2nd round deals are all discretionary. With Boston's depth Semi might be a candidate for the new 2-way contract if he doesn't make the roster, but they want to keep him in case they trade Crowder, Brown or Tatum.

Probably more than 20k to 30k imo. I think Semi makes the Celtics the way Danny Anige was talking about,hi I'm.

“We needed a guy like him,” Ainge said. “Some times when we didn’t have a guy like Jae Crowder, it got thin at those positions. (Ojeleye) gives us more depth and a 245-pound body that can make threes.”

Maybe, but probably not much more. Most teams barely give any guaranteed money to undrafted Free Agents. Examples on every team, but just a few from one team Jalen Jones (former Pony and Aggie) signed with the Celtics for camp last year and got cut, sent to the D-League (his guaranteed money as undrafted free agent 25K). Same for some guy named Marcus Georges-Hunt cut sent to D-League. Some kid named Damion Lee got 50K guaranteed as undrafted FA before being cut and sent to D-League.

They usually just throw some guaranteed money your way to lure you over other teams and see how you do in summer league or camp, but its not alot of money as an undrafted FA, unless you make the roster and its non-guaranteed. . Most summer league/camp guys besides first rounders, early second rounders and the guys who just surprise and play great end up getting cut and assigned to the D-League (now G-League).

Like hearing that on Semi. He could be a good piece for Boston. The need shooting.

Whatever the number is some guaranteed money is better than no guaranteed money. :D

And yes, that was an encouraging statement about Semi.

I like this quote from ESPN on the Sterling with the Bucks.....

"Brown is one of the top five shooters in the draft. The Bucks really need shooting, and he should be able to find his way into the rotation.”
